About Us
Empowering Children Through Running
The Total Kids Run Club is an enrichment program for children of all fitness levels. We transform traditional running games and drills into powerful life lessons. Parents know when their children are with us, they are getting great health and exercise AND building strength of character.

Community Vision
Every child is able to compete and reach the goals they once thought were beyond them. We have worked with hundreds of children of all fitness levels, and have learned fun and active tools to harness self confidence. We have found that the eight core empowerment principles we selected together create a unique and powerful curriculum. One which combines physical health with strength of character.
What to expect
Our Goals
At Total Kid children receive a tee shirt for participating. Each season a new goal is set, and children feel part of a team as they work towards reaching that goal. We teach children how to handle disappointment and use it as fuel to achieve what is really important to them.
Practice Information
Practices usually last one hour and is divided into three main areas. Warm-up and discussion, drill of the day, and end of class game. We want children to leave practice both sweaty and smiling.
Racing
We participate in local off-site public races and encourage all students and their families to participate as often as possible. Please check with your local coach to see if there are any events planned in your area.
Family Fun!
